Method
 

Strawberry Puree
  1. Combine the strawberries, sugar, and water in a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust for sweetness.
Mascarpone Mixture
  1. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  2. Place the mascarpone cheese, cream, icing sugar, and vanilla essence in a second bowl. Beat them together with an electric mixer until thick and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped cream until combined. Don’t overmix; you want the mixture to be fluffy.
Assembly
  1. Set out eight dessert glasses/bowls.
  2. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the mixture (don’t soak, just a quick dip). Place them at the bottom of each serving glass. Break into pieces as needed to fit.
  3. Add 1-2 tsp of the puree on top.
  4. Add a generous layer of the cheese mixture.
  5. Add another layer of cookie, puree, and finish with a layer of the cheese mixture.
  6. Chill for at least 4 hours.
  7. Before serving, top with fresh strawberries and, if you like, extra ladyfingers or a sprinkle of chocolate or cocoa
